    jaywolves replied to mahkev2000's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Another quarter into the books pulled me up to a 3.9. 3.77 for just nursing related classes for the application. 213 points towards my application. First alternate last year had 201. Things are...

  2. All you A students

    jaywolves replied to BeachPrincess's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    A students usually have a very similar way of doing things. A lot of which boils down to repetition. You have to ask yourself why you want to achieve that goal and you have to be willing to outline a...

  3. Why are male nurses looked down on?

    jaywolves replied to USCUAmber's topic in Male Nursing Students

  6. Orientation Day LPN to RN

    jaywolves replied to 99percentangel's topic in General Nursing

    I have nothing but admiration for you and would echo your husbands warning, "be picky about your lab partners" not only will they want to pick your mind but - especially the youngest ones - seem to...

  7. NLN PAX RN test - new to the board

    jaywolves replied to suesue70's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took it two week ago - the test is probably the hardest test I've ever taken. You have no idea whether or not you are doing well. You have no idea whether you are studying the right things. I would...

  8. Why are male nurses looked down on?

    jaywolves replied to USCUAmber's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Better at being discrete with what? Certainly not the breast area. How much bling does cleavage need, really? Most men will look without it being present at all! Sorry, had to pick on that one! I've...

  11. advice on taking the pax exam

    jaywolves replied to cindy4129's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Okay, is it just me or was the vocabulary portion INSANE? The math was pretty easy, the science was a bit challenging, but I'm really concerned about the vocab. It just doesn't seem intuitive and they...

  13. To the students

    jaywolves replied to aerorunner80's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Wrapped up my CNA class this weekend and hope to take my certification exam in the next week or two. (I have finals at another school - in addition to working full time - so it may have to wait a...

  14. To the students

    jaywolves replied to aerorunner80's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Just started my clinicals and I'm glad this has been posted. I would add only one note and that is that every situation is different. I spent my first night on clinicals in the ER. Following a couple...

    jaywolves replied to misserella8036's topic in General Students

  16. Taking patient's blood pressure

    jaywolves replied to Linj's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    One thing that helped me was to lay in bed and with the same fingers I take pulse, I found my brachial pulse. That took awhile. In class we were not told to take it anywhere but the crease of the...

  17. Gay labeling, is it just plain mean? Or sexual harrassment?

    jaywolves replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in Men in Nursing

    I've enjoyed working with gay folks in other industries for this very reason. There never seems to be a hesitation when it comes to setting someone straight! Shoot from both hips if

  18. Nursing Assistant in the Emergency Room

    jaywolves replied to bulldoggurlie's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I don't know how true this is, you may want to contact a local hospital and ask. Go visit someone in the ER and see what they will tell you. I have heard that you have to be bilingual in some

  19. Lots Of Questionssssss

    jaywolves replied to BIGDADDYTRAV's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Depends on the regulations in your state. Mine is 11 weeks long. Idaho is very strict. Also, if you have plans of moving through the ranks and getting your LPN or your RN you should look into the...

  20. Did anyone quit smoking when they stated nursing school?

    jaywolves replied to misserella8036's topic in General Students

    Thanks! I thought there were a lot of acronyms in network admin and the military. I'm learning that we hadn't even uncovered the tip of the iceberg. Nursing is a whole new level of abbreviated trade...

  21. Did anyone quit smoking when they stated nursing school?

    jaywolves replied to misserella8036's topic in General Students

    No doubt about that. In fact - even if it is a low stress time, the second you decide you've had your last cigarette it seems like all hell will break loose. It is VERY MUCH worth doing. Just do it,...

  22. Did anyone quit smoking when they stated nursing school?

    jaywolves replied to misserella8036's topic in General Students

    I'm merely a CNA student what is ESCOPD? I tried multiple times and had to resort to the patch. Cold turkey wasn't cutting

  23. Did anyone quit smoking when they stated nursing school?

    jaywolves replied to misserella8036's topic in General Students

    You've made it through the worst of it. By far the first two weeks I was worried for EVERYONE's safety. I had a hair trigger and some part of me thought that maybe it would be smart if companies would...

  24. Taking patient's blood pressure

    jaywolves replied to Linj's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I just started class last Saturday we began practicing this skill immediately after the lunch break (8 hour class for 11 weeks) and it became obvious immediately that I was going to need more practice...

    jaywolves replied to Showmetheway's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Well, I started last weekend - Saturday class for 11 weeks - 8 hours a day. We weren't told we had to buy a steth or a sphygmomanometer, but... Our instructor did suggest that if we are going to buy...
